www.cp-e.com and my product whishlist :)

I would like to see the following products:

- An intercooler with cast end-tanks, 50% larger in volume than stock (not more !), which uses the stock piping and c-clips for connection (HPF has one but it is way too large and may introduce too much lag). Some plastic trimming is allowed

They'll weld any bung you want on the DPs. You just have to ask when ordering. As far as the cats are concerned, I'm beta testing their newest set. They did a lot of research into the materials that BMW uses as the exhaust flow is significantly hotter than most and will destroy most aftermarket cats after a short time. I don't know the specifics of the new cats they're using but they were in negotiation with their manufacturer for some time to develop the substrate for the catalyst. So far so good.

The pod suggestion is something I've mentioned as well as I don't like the vent setup. Where would you mount it?

Good to know about the bungs. I would like catalysts that last long and do not throw any codes at ~380whp. The HJS are very good for the job, but they are expensive.

I would mount it in the left corner where the windshield meets the A-pillar and the dashboard.

I really doubt you would feel much added lag if any with HPF's intercooler, and the extra volume being filled will be offset by enhanced flow through the core which also creates a lower pressure drop than stock. I remember my friend was really worried about inducing extra lag on his subaru with a perrin intercooler setup and it actually seemed to respond faster with it installed. It was also much more consistent run after run.

Our core I am pretty sure is one of the larger ones on the market. We tested about 9 different cores till we found what we wanted. We do full data writeups on each one and then decide which to go with. We were going to do the c-clips and already had them drawn up in CAD but decided to include more piping with our kit for flow purposes.
